Battlezone Forums

So how much did we loose in the fall of BZU?

All of the mods and utilities that were hosted on BZScrap; the Mantis, as far as I know; all of the neat links and tutorials that were in the Maps and Mods sections, and all of the 1.3 CP2 progress.

Ahh dang...although this forum looks better, but its not the deisgn that is better it's the things we had built on the other forum that was better.

I have tons of Battlezone related utilities, mods and maps from over the years still on my hard-drives.

Maybe we can piece together somewhere for them if needed.

I could burn them to a few DVD data discs and send out since uploading them would take more time.

I have a lot of stuff too. I'll make a list to see what is needed and can make dvd's as needed.

A repository for the utilities like bzscrap, where people can download stuff is definitely needed. I am certain that between us we should be able find most of the important ones like pak explorer etc.
I have no idea about the Mods that it used to host, maybe some of these are hosted elsewhere too.

I assume GSH is looking at a replacement or recovery of mantis.

I think I have OM's python scriptor somewhere. Or that's probably on his site.

BZComplex has a Mantis if all else fails, I've used it with him a few times. What a mess... I have an installer for the AIPEditor here somewhere amongst a few other things.

Ah well, time to start afresh I guess!

Should we be talking to the content creators before hosting their stuff?

I have a bunch of 1.2 era stuff saved on my end. I made a short list of what I've found so far, probably a lot more floating around though. I'll update as I find things, let me know if you see something we need.

I'll be glad to take your bz2 related files for getting this on a dedicated server.

95% of BZScrap seems to have been recovered at least. We lost betadudes though.

CP2 work might shift to BZComplex, it might not. Tutorials might end up going to BZCommand, they might not.

I have most of the files that was on bzscrap. let me know what you need and I will get back to you.

I have a lot of old files stored, if there's anything missing, let me know and I can try to find it if I have it.

GBD, my bzscrap mirror is missing the following files: ~~BZCDemo.exe, ~~BZCow1.4.exe, ~~bz2cp_fe_p1.exe, ~~bz2cp_p2_setup.exe
